The Guy with the sign I hate to say it is kinda right.... As long as we take any side on the Israel stuff we make enemies all over the middle east.... Sadam was our buddy our pal and then he went into Kuwait and all of a sudden this evil guy became our Enemy.... Bin Laden's Family was in the Oil Business with Bush's family and not sure what went wrong.... The Middle east with Oil and God and different secs of the same faith as long as we have an army any place over there we grow the seeds of hate for us........

What is the name of the white monster? (Gossamer is the name of the red monster.)

When going through my phone gallery I realized that I had not posted any of the convert pics from NKOTBSB due to extenuating circumstances at the time.

The concert was so crazy. I love how they pretend you can't bring cameras in but every single person had a camera phone with them. Granted some of them don't take the best pics but still an 8mb phone cam is pretty good. Sadly mine is only 5 and there lens is shattered a bit.

(e:metalpeter), you need to check this site out: :::link::: You are budding photographer! Get into the limelight! Try some artsy compositions! :)

I think that unless you are a pro with like a big or really big lens or up right close it often turns into a light show.... Nothing wrong with that... There are people on this sight who it would be interesting to hear from like (QCRG) Dragonlady (forget what number), (E:heidi), (e:matthew) , and (e:TheSouthernYan)kkee well you know who I mean. I think what happens is that the camera focus is on the light and how much of it there is so you get that... That is why a bright light of say an exit sign makes everything dark. But I think if you are close a strong flash counteracts that light the people who are way better then I am can get pictures where the person is clear and you can tell they are under lights.... I will be having fun taking pictures hopefully up close at the Burlesque tonight and maybe they will come out ok we shall see......

I don't remember. I have blocked it out to cope with my PTNKOTBSBS syndrome.

It's like a science fiction movie...

So how was the music?

Hahaha - I love that pic where everyone has their phone out and video-ing or snapping away! :)

We went for a bike ride at the park. (e:KeithT) has a new attachable speaker that Cyndi got him for his birthday. Its actually really loud. I think Dave D might like one if these for camping. Its amazing how nasty the scajaquada sludge gets.

I have a major crush on this girl. She looks like a younger tilda swinton.

It is weird this video has the same type of feel as the Micheal Jackson video in the space ship with his sister. But at the same time I feel like I'm in a club in Miami in the 80's (or what one would seem like how it would have been)

Fun. I have a soft spot for electro-synth sounds. Works particularly well as energetic gym time music.

Someone named Meghan wrote to me about this Electronic Music Festival:

My name is Meghan I am writing because I am doing my first event on my own here in Buffalo on August 29th. Silent Exchange will be an all day electronic music + art event taking place at the new eco-friendly collegiate housing entertainment space "The Yard" down near Black Rock. I am wondering if you can possibly put this on estrip, or simply pass the word to those you think would be interested I really appreciate it!! Please email me anytime at silentexchange AT ymail.com

Below you can read more information about why I am doing this event.

What is Silent Exchange?

Silent Exchange will be an all day open air electronic music + art event taking place on August 29, 2009 from 12pm-10pm with five DJ's that have tickled dance floors all over the world, with local artist work up and around in a one day installation.

Why Silent Exchange?

After living in NYC and Berlin for the past four and a half years, I returned to Buffalo, NY, only to find a commercial side of the electronic music scene. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

My plan - the Silent Exchange concept - is meant to focus on what is missing: the simplistic, low key, underground, and more accessible side of the music and art scene. Buffalo does do a great job in introducing people to the mainstream sound but Silent Exchange will open the door to a new experience - to an encounter with unconventional and unexplored surroundings where people can have direct access, and a unique connection with the music and art around them.

What Silent Exchange wants is for art to show its true face - inspiring, dirty, raw all simultaneously. Artists can freely manifest their sound in an artistic and unpretentious environment, where their techniques and interpretation aren't bound to any commerical expectations. International, as well as up and coming talents, will bring their edge and unfiltered sound to Silent Exchange, and artists will have the opportunity to display their work in one day exhibitions - with the perpetual message in mind: "actions speak louder than words."

It doesn't matter where we are all from, which backgrounds, interests, worlds we belong to - this is a connection between the people and music + art. Words are not needed for the exchange that takes place on a dancefloor. The smiles, the winks, the hugs, the kisses between strangers - all these create the vibe.

Where is Silent Exchange?

Silent Exchange Electronic Music + Art event will team up with Rock Harbor Commons Village "The Yard" for the debut. Rock Harbor'is a new ecologically friendly and safe student environment that will incorporate a blending of art, history, nature, and social actives. The village will soon house 300 students in the first phase along with plans for a cafe , student entrepreneurial offices, food court, fitness center, game/recreational room, big screen TVs, 24-hour security, Wi-Fi, monitored private parking, and eco-friendly shuttle buses. August 2010 marks the beginning of a remarkable future for Rock Harbor and the Black Rock community.
